About This 2017 Chevrolet Impala LT

This 2017 Impala LT is a full-size front-wheel-drive sedan carrying 148,425 miles — a number that tells a story of real-world use but doesn't have to be a dealbreaker. The Impala platform is engineered for longevity, and well-maintained examples routinely exceed 200,000 miles without major mechanical issues.

If you've been priced out of lower-mileage alternatives, this Impala LT offers genuine value and reliability when properly inspected and serviced.
 

2017 Chevrolet Impala Performance and Engine

Under the hood of this Impala sits a 3.6-liter V6 engine — one of the most well-regarded powerplants in the GM lineup. It produces around 305 horsepower and pairs seamlessly with a smooth 6-speed automatic overdrive transmission. The result is responsive acceleration whether you're merging onto I-75 or cruising down Woodward Avenue. Front-wheel drive keeps things composed in wet or wintry Michigan conditions, and the Impala's suspension tuning strikes a confident balance between comfort and handling stability. Fuel economy is a practical 18 mpg city and 28 mpg highway, meaning fewer stops at the pump on longer drives.
 

Chevrolet Impala LT Features and Interior

The LT trim sits squarely in the middle of the Impala lineup and punches well above its entry-level price expectations. Inside, you'll find a spacious cabin with seating for five adults — genuinely comfortable seating, not the cramped back row you'd find in a midsize sedan. Standard features on the 2017 Impala LT include Chevrolet's MyLink infotainment system with a touchscreen display, Bluetooth connectivity, a rearview camera, dual-zone automatic climate control, and power-adjustable front seats. Remote keyless entry, cruise control, and a 10-way power driver's seat round out a comfort package that feels premium without the premium price tag. The trunk space is generous at 18.8 cubic feet — one of the largest in its class.
 

Chevrolet Impala Reliability and Ownership

The tenth-generation Impala, which covers model years 2014 through 2020, earned a reputation as one of the more reliable American full-size sedans on the market. J.D. Power consistently rated it above average in initial quality, and consumer ownership forums frequently cite the 3.6-liter V6 as a smooth, durable engine with few chronic failure points when oil changes are kept current. Common maintenance items at higher mileage include spark plugs, intake manifold gaskets, and the occasional wheel bearing — all manageable costs. The 6-speed automatic transmission is generally robust. Prospective buyers should have a pre-purchase inspection completed and review available service records. Overall, for a vehicle in this mileage range, the Impala platform is one of the safer bets in the used full-size sedan segment.
